A vacuum-based process could make solar cells faster and cheaper to produce while delivering efficiency on surfaces used in ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses ...

One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...

An ionic elixir is being developed to extend promising perovskite solar cell lifespans. It's part of research — detailed in an abstract published by Nature Energy — happening at Purdue and Emory ...

Scientists in Singapore have developed ultrathin solar cells that could one day turn car ...

Researchers in Sweden developed a bifacial chalcoprite solar cell using a titanium-doped indium oxide (ITiO) back contact, achieving 68% bifaciality. The device is able to maintain strong front-side ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

The polymer solar cell is able to retain 97% of its performance after 2,000 hours in air. By blending small-molecule acceptors into polymeric matrices, the research team improved molecular packing, ...

A promising solar-cell architecture, in which two layers of perovskite semiconductors are stacked on silicon, is making strides towards achieving its full potential. Read the paper: Triple-1 junction ...
